Question

5.
Solve the equation
15 - 4x = 2(3x + 1).

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\ x=13/10 } :)`

My steps:

First thing we do is: Rearrange terms

• 15−4x=2(3x+1)

• −4x+15=2(3x+1)

Second thing we do is: Distribute

• −4x+15=2(3+1)
• −4x+15=6x+2

Third thing we do is : Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation

• −4x+15=6x+2
• −4x+15−15=6x+2−15

Then you carry on and find solution:

• x=13/10

Hope this help's!
